Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAnāmānta (अनामान्त) refers to the “end of the Nameless”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—“[...] (In this state this energy is round and white) like a drop of milk. (Contemplating it in this form, the yogi) should lead it up to the end of the Nameless (anāmānta). Then the consecration takes place by means of that same deity in its original form. [...]”.—(Cf. Mālinīstava)
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
